Reflecting time

A dear friend asked me this morning by email (while I stood in front of the webcam) if I'd had good reflecting time. I've had some time to add clarity around one major thing. As you all know my ability to set goals and achieve them I've been struggling with prioritizing what I thought were competing goals-find a husband or secure a job abroad. Since this is the longest time I've traveled alone (Egypt was 8 days and 7 days in Europe) I've realized I'd rather find my husband first so together, perhaps with a family, could enjoy the time abroad.



Its not that I'm lonely (lord, I've been independent for too many years), but rather would appreciate someone here to share the memories with. As this trip holds so many. I know that sharing this journey with all of you has been so important and meaningful to me. Thanks for being there enmass and for your emails which keep me connected.



So I'm relaxing on my "to work abroad in 5 years" goal and not putting a time frame anymore as with a man in the mix, I'd rather give more time to the first--to do it right. ;)



The other things I've learned about myself on this journey are nothing new. But I'm declaring another personal truce upon my return to stop pushing myself so hard-something I'm even doing on vacation. I'll welcome you to call me on it too when I return to help me break the habit :)
